Operator feedback (2026-05-09): the 500-album cap meant cover art rolled
in over many nightly runs even when local sources (sidecar/embedded)
could finish in minutes. Remove the global cap; rely on the existing
per-provider HTTP throttle (coverart httpClient MinInterval) so local
art is disk-speed and remote providers stay TOS-friendly.
- enricher.go / artist_enricher.go: EnrichBatch, EnrichArtistBatch,
EnrichRetryMissing now treat limit<0 as unbounded (0 still = stage
disabled). The cap was a SQL LIMIT; unbounded uses max int32.
- main.go: RunScanConfig EnrichCap/ArtistEnrichCap = -1 (unbounded).
- Drop LibraryConfig.CoverArtBackfillCap + the
MINSTREL_LIBRARY_COVERART_BACKFILL_CAP env var.
- Drop the now-dead coverBackfillCap param threaded through
server.New + api.Mount + the handlers struct.
- Admin bulk refetch (/api/admin/covers/refetch-missing) now drains
unbounded; response {queued:int} → {started:bool} (the count is
unknowable synchronously for a fire-and-forget drain). Web copy +
client type + Go/web tests updated to match.
No doc refs existed (config.example.yaml / docker-compose / README
never documented the env var).
